Jennifer has over 10 years of experience writing about technology and a lifetime of living with it and enjoying every morsel. While she loves to switch off and get away from it all from time to time, she also can't imagine a life without having the world at her fingertips.

Having spent her childhood either writing or absorbing as many games as possible, it was a natural step for Jennifer to delve into the world of technology journalism once she began seeking out a career. Her practice run was spending time writing how-to guides for her family to solve common queries to do with their new PC. Mostly home-educated while growing up, she quickly gained the ability to be self-motivated and to enjoy setting her own timetable which has proved useful within her work.

Previously, Jennifer started by writing game reviews for many websites. As an avid gamer, she loved playing a wide variety of different genres and the satisfaction that came from critiquing them. Following that time, she decided to diversify and move into the world of technology. She's always enjoyed helping people learn how to use their new devices and how to get the most out of the latest products around. Appreciating that not everyone can figure things out for themselves, Jennifer has focused on making things as simple as possible for a wide audience. She also always loves to have the latest devices, so it's the perfect combination of interests.

On a regular basis, she's still wowed by how far technology has come and how it continues to move the world forward. It's also increasingly important for her to work in a freelance capacity so she has time to look after herself and others in her life.
